<p>The New Yorker, The Economist, The Atlantic Monthly, Philadelphia Magazine, various alumni mags. Sunday NYT. We just decided to drop Oprah and Newsweek. My wife buys House Beautiful (?, or something like that) and Vogue with some regularity.</p>
<p>Another vote for Cook’s Illustrated - but 6 times a year? Sheesh.</p>
<p>We were long time subscribers to Gourmet, but as another poster pointed out about Bon Appetit, it has also declined in substance and has morphed into an advertising vehicle.</p>
<p>We currently get Food and Wine, which is sometimes brilliant and sometimes blah.</p>
<p>I haven’t touched a New Yorker in a decade for fear of a relapse - I used to keep the issues I hadn’t finished in a pile DW finally cleaned up and I went cold turkey. Not pretty.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, the way I look at it is this (though this can, admittedly, sometimes be a rather tough sell at home): Anyone who’s able to keep up with all the magazines he gets just isn’t getting enough magazines.</p>
<p>^Ha!</p>
<p>Rather tough sell, indeed! DW is a roaming magazine vacuum cleaner.</p>
<p>Newsweek, The Economist, National Geographic and Scientific American. I found my attention span has declined over the last few years, and I was not getting through the longer articles in Atlantic Monthly so I just dropped it after reading it for decades. Loss of attention span seems to be a consequence of living on the internet.</p>
<p>I now scan articles into PDF form if I want to save them. At least this way, I can save them, never look at them and they take up no physical room.</p>
<p>Weekly mags in my house: New Yorker and NY Review of Books, and Time. Monthly–gardening mag (Organic Gardening) for me along with health mags (Prevention, Harvard Women’s Health Watch). For dh–Architecture Digest, Art in Review, and Art and Antiques. The only food/cooking magazine we get is Cook’s Illustrated. Used to get Gourmet and Saveur and Wine Spectator, but we didn’t have time to read them all. Sometimes I’ll buy our city magazine or More (a magazine for women over 40–which is often has some interesting articles) or Eating Well, which is placed on the check-out counter at a local, farmstand store and always has great covers.</p>
<p>H has subscribed to Scientific American for over 25 years.</p>
<p>I have NO subscriptions right now, so try to browse really, really fast when I’m at the hair salon…magazines are a weakness of mine and I went cold turkey a few years back to save money and places to put them.</p>
<p>momof2inca, I agree about Atlantic, although sometimes they stack up
But even older editions are a good read, and often surprisingly on target in their assessment when you see what has happened in the world 6 months later!</p>
<p>I also love Food & Wine. A lot of the recipes are less “finicky” (read: time and budget consuming) than other foodie magazines. I usually clip at least half a dozen recipes every month, actually cook about 3 of those, and put 1-2 in the “keep” pile. Great pumpkin cheesecake last week!</p>
<p>At our house: New Yorker, Science, Nature, Field & Stream (we don’t know why; no-one here subscribes, it just started appearing), Outside (same deal as F&S, only it started appearing a year ago).</p>
<p>Most rewarding magazine moment: when kids start graduating from cartoons to occasional articles in New Yorker.</p>
<p>ellemenope, I love when magazines have online archives so I don’t have to do the saving myself! Atlantic Monthly and New Scientist (but only for print subscribers) are especially great for this. The New Republic used to do a good job, but no longer. Very annoying.</p>
<p>Oooooooo I forgot: Foreign Affairs.</p>
<p>And since it only comes out once every two months, I can also check out writings directly through the Council on Foreign Relations’ website, since it’s updated every day.</p>
<p>Another vote for the New Yorker here!!</p>
<p>Memake–I, too, started getting two magazines that I never purchased: People and Better Homes and Gardens. They just started arriving in the mail. I don’t care for either although I cop to reading articles on the Obamas and on Madonna and A-Rod that appeared in People.</p>
<p>Every food mag, every travel mag, New Yorker, New York, Vanity Fair, The Economist, Business Week. Notice food and travel come before work.</p>
<p>Yawn - ESP - I just today ordered a subscription to Foreign Affairs for Christmas for S1.</p>
<p>I love online archives also!</p>
